A: The Safepak was designed specifically to ship dental scrap. All of the material has been approved for shipping by OSHA, DHS and the EPA.
Q: Do you buy Partials?
A: The only time we buy partials is if they are visibly gold. These partials are usually old (manufactured 20-30 years ago). Otherwise no, we do not buy silver colored partials. They do not contain precious metal.
Q: Do you buy Amalgam?
A: No, although it contains silver, it also contains mercury and is considered a hazardous waste.
Q: My material are soaking in liquid what should I do?
A: After you receive your Safepak, remove the dental scrap from the liquid and place the scrap in the provided plastic bag before shipping. Please do not ship with the liquid to avoid leaking and damaging the packaging. This will nullify the insurance.
Q: How do I know what my material is worth?
